Stanford scientists use microbes to make 'clean' methane
By By Mark Shwartz | 25 Jul 2012
Most methane comes from natural gas, a fossil fuel. Stanford and Penn State scientists are taking a greener approach using microbes that can convert renewable electricity into carbon-neutral methane
Stanford-SLAC team uses X-ray imaging to observe running batteries in real time
24 Jul 2012
Scientists at Stanford and SLAC are using X-ray technology to observe lithium-sulphur batteries in action, which can theoretically store five times more energy at a much lower cost. Their findings could lead to improvements in this promising power source for electric vehicles
